RECOMMENDATIONS #1 Choose the Sherri Finkbine case. More stuff to talk about.#2 I will provide you in my next email with a properly formatted works cited page for the Sherri Finkbine case. Just add that to the end of your paper, deleting those references you don’t use. PAPER RECOMMENDATIONS: Below I paste my comments–in red italics–below each of the six questions that you should answer when writing your paper. Take my comments as some initial ideas to get your paper started. 1. Should the probability of giving birth to a severely deformed baby ever be a sufficient basis for considering an abortion, or should all fetuses be given a chance to live, even if the probability of survival is low and/or quality of life is reduced? 2. What manner of birth defects was caused by the thalidomide drug? 3. Is it morally relevant that thousands of pregnant women who were taking thalidomide, which was widely marketed for the treatment of nausea, did not know that it caused birth defects? 4. Is it morally relevant that the Chemie Grünenthal pharmaceutical company fail
ed to test its product for developmental toxicity in animals before marketing the drug for human use? 5. Is this case related to questions about the morality of euthanasia? 6. Is this case related to questions about the morality of eugenics? Here is a sample works cited page for the Sherri Finkbine case. ONLY INCLUDE THOSE SOURCES YOU ACTUALLY USE. Delete the others from your works cited. You also need to use in-text citations. That is, place the author’s name (or name of the youtube channel uploader) in parentheses at the end of the sentence where you’re using the info. Example : Romantic poetry is characterized by the “spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings” (Wordsworth). Here again is a sample MLA paper to help you see what I mean. The majority of the references give factual background on the case. The last reference talks about the debate over personhood with regards to individuals with cognitive disability. It’s from the super well-regarded Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Worth taking a look just to see how philosophy is done and how broad a field it really is.
